Thanks for the info. I looked into it and JCWhitney say's they'll ship to me in Canada, but it'll get here first week in October. Other places just won't ship to Canada. Don't they know i'm trying to do my part to help the economy by spending my in the US? I know you guy's are pushing the "buy american" campaign, and i'm trying to do my part. lol I'll keep looking or see if JCWhitney can ship to me a little faster than attaching the tailgate cap to some helium baloons and setting it in the wind.

Thanks!
Jesse

It's actually a hard piece of plastic. It came from the factory on my truck. I think 02-06 came with them. Although the tonneau doesn't sit completely flush in the back, it's not that noticeable.

You can try and find one off a wrecked ram at a junk yard or go to a dealer.

The link goes to the home page as the link is no longer valid.

What make was it as this could be the answer for my truck so that I can put the bed cap window back as it should be.

Harby,

The product number that I found was TGPD9, and the producing company is Bak Industries

Does that piece come far enough down the tail gate to cover the holes?

The last product review for this piece was from someone with a 06 Laramie and he said it came down far enough to cover the holes. My other thought was to get 4 LED brake lights and put them on to cover the holes and wire them to the brake lights, or a single long LED bar that will cover all at once. There's a truck stop on the edge of town that has a store full of Semi stuff. If I try the lights method i'll take some picture to show how it turns out.

Thanks

Jesse

just go to your local truck shop and tell em what you need.. its 30 bucks
edit: mine came with a spoiler too and has the holes in the back.. when i bought my tonneau cover from the truck shop they told me what i needed.
